Plant Solute Transport

This book provides a broad overview of solute transport in plants.
It first determines what solutes are present in plants and what
roles they play. The physical bases of ion and water movement are
considered. The volume then discusses the ways in which solutes are
moved across individual membranes, within and between cells, and
around the plant. Having dealt with the role of plant solutes in
‘normal’ conditions, the volume proceeds to examine how
the use of solutes has been adapted to more extreme environments
such as hot, dry deserts, freezing mountains and saline marshes. A
crucial stage in the life cycle of most plants, the
internally-controlled dehydration concomitant with seed formation,
is also addressed.

Throughout the volume the authors link our increasing
understanding of the cellular and molecular bases of solute
movement with the roles that these fulfil in the whole plant under
both ideal and stressful conditions, showing how these are dictated
by the physical laws that govern solute and water movement. The
book is directed at postgraduates, researchers and professionals in
plant physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology.
